Crushed Maize / Cracked Corn (ذرة عويجة)

Also known as: Cracked Corn, Broken Maize, ذرة مكروشة

General Description

Crushed maize, commonly known as cracked corn, is made by coarsely grinding dried yellow corn kernels. It retains much of the grain’s natural nutrients and is primarily used in animal feed, but can also be processed for human consumption in some cultures. It has a rough texture, golden color, and neutral flavor, making it suitable for various industrial and agricultural applications.
